In the quiet neighborhood story (WDC 178), Donald gets in a quarrel
with an author living next door.
Somewhere in Donald Ault's book "Carl Barks Conversations", Barks
remembers that he based this story on real-life circumstances. He
really had loud neighbours at the time. (Can someone check up this
part?)
Looking at the story, I find that the author looks like a caricature
of Carl Barks. Especially on page 5 and 6, when he still wears his
glasses. Only his hairdo looks a bit too unorganized. (But then, it's
the middle of the night.)
BTW. I think I've seen far more Barks caricatures in Barks's work than
the few very obvious ones which are already known. I can list some, if
you like.
